When I was compiling easy and basic recipes for “Bachelor cooking ideas” Page last week, I was wondering why I have not posted some simple and basic recipes. One such recipe is this Potato curry/ potato fry/ உருளைக்கிழங்கு கறி yet here in my blog! I have other two posts ofpotato curry recipe – one an unique curry with some flavourful spices and the other one in 100% micorwave cookingthat I posted for an event. So I clicked this last time when I made it with rasam. This is an unbeatable combination – Rasam and potato curry. I never realized that until my friends keep telling about this combo. Until then I used to make it only with sambar. This is easy to make in a jiffy. So along with a simple rasam, it makes an excellent yet quick meals, perfect for a lazy day in your kitchen.
